' To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that. we, .EDWIN F. Lock woos and HARRY A. lookwooi),citizens of the United States of America, and residents of Bellevue,county of Campbell, and State 'of Kentucky, have invented certain new.anduse-ful Improvements in Bakers Pans, of which the following is aspeci-' fication. j

This invention relates to bakers pans and has for an object to produceimprovedmeans for protecting the ends of a series of connected pans. g

A further object is to produce a protective plate or .wing for the endpans of a series of connected pans, which will protect the end faces ofthe series, the bottoms of the end pans, and will also provide for acirculation of air around thelatera'l walls of the end pans, andconsequently'allow the leaves in the end panstobebrowned uniformly onallsides.

-A further object is to produce a protective plate or wing which willguide the bakers peel under the pan, and which will yield or give whenstruck bythe peel, and, conse quently yieldingly transmit the force ofthe blow tothe pan.

These and other objects we attain by means of a protective .plate orwing embodying the features herein described, and illustrated in thedrawings accompanying and forming a part of this application.

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of apan equipped with the wingshown in Fig. 1.

provide a prote'ctive plate or wing, "which will protect the walls ofthe pan and also distorted.

prevent the bot-tomfrom being buckled or;

. In the drawings, we'have shown a number l of rectangular baking pans5, located side by side, with convenient space between of rivets8, whichextend through the bars and the end walls of the pans. The ends of eachbar 6 are bent at right angles, so as to extend parallel to the lateralfaces-of the end pans. A protective plate 9 is located on the outerlateral face of each end pan, and

is engaged by the turned-over ends ofthebars 6. The ends of the bars aresecured tothe outer lateral walls of the end pans by means of rivets 10,which extend through the bars, the wings ,9, and they walls of the wingsto the pans. Each wing 9 consists of an upper portion, which is providedwith vertically extending-corrugations 11, and a lower portion, whichstands out from the adjacent wall of the pan and is curved inpan, and,consequently aid in securing the wardly toward the bottom ofthe pan.Thelower edge of the wing is approximately in the plane of the bottom ofthe pans;

A rivet 12 is located midway between the ends of the wing and aids therivets 10 in securing the wing in place on the end pan, I I

Both the rivets 10' and the rivets 12 are located near the top ofthewing, .s'othat its lower portion stands out free from the vpan and iscapable of a slight amount of motion relatively to the pan, due to theelasticity or give of-the metal of which the wing 1s formed. The upperedge of the wing is located a little below "the coil 7 of the pan,. soas to permit a free circulationof air through the passages formedbetween the pan and the wing, by the vertical corrugav tions 11. Withthis arrangement, the side of the loaf, located adjacent to the wing 9,

is browned to the same extent as the restof the loaf, for thereason thatthe wing 7 does .not have to be heated up before the heat of the oven isimparted to the. portion ofthe loaf located adjacent to the wing; Thecirculationof air through the verticalcorrw gations impartsthe sameamount of heat to theloaf,'through the end walls of the series of pans,as is imparted through the intermediate walls of the series.

The wing 9, in addition to protecting the outer lateral walls of the endpans, prevents the bottoms of these Hlpans: from being buckled bythevforce of a blow from the bakers peel. \Vhen the wing is struck bythe peel, the force of the blow is not transmittedto the bottom of thepan, but is yieldingly transmitted to the top portion of the pan, whichis reinforced by the coil 7rand also by, the bars 6. In addition toprotecting v the pans and preventing them from being distorted,'thecurved lower portion of the wing guides the baker's peel l1Ild8P- thepan, and thereby simplifies the operation of re- ,moving the pans fromthe oven. Protective wings embodying the features of the wings hereindescribed may be employed on any kind of a pan, and may be "secured tothe pan in any convenient manner.

4 What weclaim is 1. In combination with a bakers pan, a

protective wing secured to one wall of the pan and provi ed withcorrugations which form open ended air passages between the wing and thepan. I

2. In combination with a bakers pan, a

protective wing secured to one wall of the pan and provided withcorrugations which form' open ended airpassages between the wall and thepan, and a curved portion which forms a guide for the bakers peel.

3. In combination withabakers pan, a H

protective wing securednear its upper edge to one wall of the pan andprovided [Wlllll vertical corrugations which form air passages-betweenthe wing and the pan, and a curved lower'portion which extendsdownwardly adjacent to the bottom of the pan but stands away from thepan.

4;. In combination with a bakers pan, a.

protective wing located on the sideof the pan and secured in place alongits upper edge only, and having vertically extending corrugations,forming air passages, open at each end and located between the pan andf=
